My random for the day, got a call this afternoon that I missed an appointment with my OB. I called back and let them know I am scheduled for the 11th and they apologized and said they had me in for today, and rescheduled me for tomorrow. After getting off the phone I found the appointment card and it was indeed today. No idea why I was convinced of the 11th. Child, give me my brain back
@KristinUM12 I'm the same- tequila is my FAVE, and consequently what got me into this prego situation lol! I usually love Cinco de Mayo but this year I'm like "meh." I've decided I'll have that celebratory margarita around Halloween instead for Día del Muerte instead
@PoodleDoodleOoo AH! Thank you thank you for sharing how to change a user name! I couldn't figure it out! I had an awkward (though thankfully unsuccessful) slight stalking incident so I needed to change my user name before I had any more awkwardness of people trying to locate where I live exactly. Hopefully this will fix it!
@mom2adoodle I felt the same way about doing our sex reveal. I just couldn't decide on anything I loved- so I ended up getting an "It's A Boy" pin and some blue ribbon which I attached to my dog's collar, and 3 simple balloons (two light blue "It's A Boy!" balloons and one dark blue with polka dots- not mylar, just the regular balloons) and tied them to my dog's collar with enough length that he didn't even notice them. It was actually hilarious! Everyone loved it, and every time he walked around it looked like the balloons were moving on their own. So funny!!! I attached pictures for you @AnnaS930 AH! Where did you find maternity running shorts?? I'm in desperate need of those lol! Need some for under my dresses That bookmark is so stinking cute too!
@KristinUM12 jumping in the registry talk. I made a registry for my second but I used it mainly to keep tabs on what I still needed and most times they offer good discounts. I probably won't do it this time for my third girl since I have everything besides a few small things.
@SarahMConnors oh that celebratory margarita is not waiting until the end of October. I fully expect someone to have one ready for me when I arrive home from birthing a little human.
@mamadomino I recognize you and think you post often enough to be known! You should totally participate in HDBD! (If you want...just don't want the fear of not being recognized stopping you!)
So I posted about this in the AS thread, but I wanted to see if you ladies had any input. Everything basically looked great at my ultrasound today, but there was a "white spot" on his heart. Said the heart had all the pieces and parts that it needed and was functioning and beating well, there was just a white dot on it. Hopefully it's a calcium deposit that will resolve itself, but I got referred to a pediatric cardiologist just to check it out. I haven't started googling yet, but I'm just not sure what to think. I'm so happy everything else looked great, and this will hopefully be something minor, but it's hard to not focus on it.
@beachmama14 googling is the worst thing, when I had my gastroschisis scare the doctor told me not tto Google it. And when i did I got so scared and overwhelmed. hopefully it does clear up on its own. But try not to worry too much. I'll be thinking of you
@JennM205 aw thanks! That's nice to know! I feel like I participate a lot because I'm here multiple times a day, I just don't always post much. I'm also weird about posting pics of myself online, especially since I occasional post them on another site and don't want them to be linked.
I felt him on the outside for the first time today while at work!! Husband was there too (we work together) and he got to feel him kick as well!! He thinks it's weird but continued to put his hands on my bump. Best feeling ever!
@mamadomino I recognize you and I feel very similar! I don't post often but it is not because I don't want to, it is hard to bump while at work or school for me. Plus, I too am very shy of putting my face online, even putting what I do in the FTM thread yesterday made me pause momentarily.
I missed 3 days and there was 14 pages of Randoms which is very hard to catch up on! All that to say, I love the interaction and have learned a lot from the group already! I am hoping once I finish school I'll have more free time to participate with the great ladies on here!
RE: Registries and looking...I think for me its similar to being team green, I want to be surprised when I get to open the presents. I was the same way for our bridal shower. Everyone asked if I had enjoyed looking at the items be purchased (on the registry), and I could honestly say every time I opened a gift I was surprised by it (we had registered 3 months before hand and I forgot a lot that we had put on). I'm really into being surprised. So once we finalize our registry in the next couple of weeks I'll probably not look at it again until the shower in August.
Side story to explain: I've been this way since a child, I hated to accidentally find any of my gifts before Christmas or birthdays, I loved the surprise. Each year my brother and I got a 'big' gift at Christmas, one year, I accidentally found it two days before Christmas....I was so mad/sad, lol. I was probably 10 at the time and still remember it. From then on my mom told me where our gifts were and I always made sure I stayed out of that room of the house. I was a strange child, lol.
@LakeR2014 I'm the same exact way!! When I was little, I never ever searched for Christmas/BDay presents ahead of time, because I always loved being surprised on the day of. With our wedding registry, I didn't check to see what had been purchased at all, for the same reason! With this one, I won't check the registry after we finalize it either -- and it's not even like I'm fighting temptation to check it, I honestly don't want to know ahead of time what I might be getting!
Also good luck on your A/S today!!! Hope the day goes by fast with you!
@geminigirl16 and @mamadomino I think a lot of us are in the same boat -- I can't really Bump at work so all of my responses tend to come at one time of the day, whenever I have time. Don't feel pressured to post all of the time or anything like that, both of your names are recognized around here so it's not like anyone thinks you're some lurker coming in to start drama or anything. Those are the ones that I think most people are leery of.
Umm, I tore the house apart looking for Christmas gifts as a kid, and I still peek to this day if left alone for too long at the house I like the surprise but I want it immediately, I don't like to wait for it.
E and I stopped and grabbed a dozen donuts for his daycare teachers this morning. We grabbed a glazed twist (this donut place is famous for them.. it was fresh out of the oven, warm melted in my mouth) and sat down at a booth to split it. It was the best way to spend my morning, a little breakfast date with my minion. I'm going to post a picture of him here because he is the happiest child I've ever known and I just can't get enough of him.. that smile, those dimples.. I just can't
I'm also in the "love surprises" boat. I think that lends itself to being Team Green, like @LakeR2014 said. Similar in how I was fairly certain DH was throwing me a surprise party for my last birthday. I refused to "go looking" for evidence, though it would have been easy to find (credit card transactions, grilling my sister for information, etc haha).
And, on that note...I feel like a jerk but I'm already slightly disappointed with Mother's Day. DH ordered Sherri's Berries and planned to have them delivered to my desk at work. Meanwhile, I planned on working from home yesterday and today (which he sort of knew but forgot to connect two and two). So, unbeknownst to me, the berries were delivered yesterday.
So as we were getting ready for bed last night, DH says, "Oh, so you probably already know this because you're all over our credit cards, but I ordered you some Sherri's Berries." Which kind of set the tone right there - he mentioned it so flippantly and, yes, I am on top of our credit cards (I check balances and note transactions about once per week) and I know that's caused difficulty for him trying to "surprise" me in the past...such is the life of joint finances, though. Anyway, I didn't understand at first why he was telling me but then realized they were basically sitting on my desk at work and I'm not supposed to be back until Monday. $50 in berries. (Which is another peeve of mine...I love when he does nice things but we're trying to save money and a simple, heartfelt card and some extra attention on Sunday would have been just fine.) Plus, I hate to say it...but I don't even love chocolate covered strawberries. Like, they're ok.
Sitting here trying to remind myself it's the thought that counts...it's the thought that counts...it's the thought that counts...
@JennM205 Is it possible to go in to work and pick them up so they aren't there all weekend? I know that's probably a hassle.
Last year was my first Mother's Day and DH was great about it, but he got me a card just from himself and not from DD. I was sad at the time, but now I think it's kind of funny.
@JennM205- I'd be equally as peeved. My husband is usually good about taking out cash for gifts when he can (obviously not to order online as yours did) so I can't follow the statements (I follow our debit/credit cards like woah). For quite a few occasions he has ordered me things from the Popcorn Factory.. and I'm only so-so on loving popcorn.. I mean it's good, but I don't need $50 of "gourmet" popcorn.
The thought that counts is a good mantra.. but it is hard not to be a bit disappointed
@JennM205 We have the same trouble with surprises and shared finances. So now we simply tell each other 'don't look at the bank transactions for the next week, few days, etc.' To make sure it stays within budget, especially around Christmas - we each have a budget - or as DH tracks the finances, I'll tell him 'Don't look at the account for the next week. Just know I spent $50.' It's allowed us to at least try to keep the surprises until they're supposed to be revealed.
@JennM205 and @LakeR2014- I actually got really annoyed with my husband 2 years ago at Christmas when I saw a $50+ charge to Victorias Secret around the holidays. I had our son on Dec. 13 and the thought of him buying me some sort of lingerie (which we don't do anyways..) just really did not sit well with me. I braced myself for a whole week without saying anything and was already annoyed when I went to open gifts and saw the VS box.
Inside were 2 pairs of yoga pants, and he said "I googled where the best yoga pants were to make you comfortable, and everything suggested Victoria's Secret". One of the absolute best gifts of the year for the thought put into it, and here I was being a total jerk thinking he was trying to rush my 6 week recovery period! He also got a mystery gift card for like $30 or something for ordering during a certain period which he gave me and I bought myself a nice new bra. Woohoo!
I am pretty sure that I didn't get anything at all for Mother's Day last year. My husband kinda sucks at special occasions. He struggles to decide what to do then ends up doing nothing. It got me off the hook for doing something for Father's Day. I think I just cooked him his favorite dinner.

Our husbands are similar. I will literally give him a link in an email with the title "birthday present" and he will still get me something else random, like a freaking coffee maker. I wanted a necklace dude that's why I sent it to you! Also, one year for Christmas he got me a bunch of anti aging creams and lotions. Like what are you trying to say lol
@camichael84 I'm working remotely because I'm "out of town" so I can't be seen at work today. But I think DH is going to swing by my office on his way home tonight to get them...though I don't know how good they'll be after sitting out at room temperature for over a full day. It's worth a shot.
@AnnaS930@LakeR2014 DH is supposed to tell me when to not look at the credit cards for special occasions like this but didn't/usually doesn't. Generally speaking, I think he is just peeved by our situation (and having to "tell me" when he's buying surprises) though we've talked about it several times over the years and have agreed that it's really the only way... Plus (and this just kind of makes the whole situation even more bitter), we both have a set amount of spending money each month. It's not a lot but it's more than we've ever had to ourselves in the past. I have no problem whatsoever staying within that monthly amount. DH can't for the life of him NOT overspend. (He's hundreds "in the hole" at any given time.) And instead of working his way out, he continues to spend...usually just a little here and a little there for lunch or sodas from the gas station or whatever. His defense? "I (we) make enough money, I should be able to have a damn soda if I want one." Which is true (it's not that we don't have the money, we're just on an aggressive saving/debt paying off plan) BUT it's not the lunch/sodas that are killer - it's that $200 pair of skis that you've used once, etc etc. Anyway, on top of that, whenever there's an occasion that "requires" he spend money on me, it just puts him even further into the hole OR (if he really overspends, like he did when he spent SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS on food for my birthday party this year) I have to figure out where the money is coming from... So not much of a gift. I'm up front with him about things like this and how it is from my perspective but I also have to be careful because he's the kind of person who internalizes everything and kind of "shuts down" when I'm not happy about something and then just foregoes any kind of effort going forward. This all makes him sound horrible and he really isn't. The financial thing is just kind of a sore spot (obviously)...added to the fact that he generally drops the ball on special occasions (I feel you @marajay6)...so when there IS any sort of effort, I feel like I have to grin and bear it, regardless of what other issues surface along with it. Ugh. Married life. Love it...and hate it sometimes.
I work with some great colleagues! My mother had mailed me a Mother's Day package which Canada Post has currently "misplaced". I had mentioned my frustration yesterday at work about it and this morning one colleague brought me a chocolate croissant and another a begonia plant for my Mother-to-be Day! These ladies certainly brightened my day!
My mom sent me a Mother's Day gift! It was a pair of dress pants and a top from Maternity Motherhood and the 'free gift' with first purchase. I remember her last week saying she signed me up for the store, thought it was odd. Now I'm the guilty person of thinking this was not on sale, neither item fits, and why did she send it USPS ($14) when she could have had free shipping through the store? Ahh, I'm bad but I do get it from her....
My husbands excuse for not doing much last Mother's Day was that DS isn't really big enough to get into it. In the future when DS is able to actually do something for me, Mother's Day will be more of a celebration. It irked me - DS was only 6 months old at the time and those first few months were more demanding on me than him due to breast feeding and still trying to lose the extra baby weight. Our wedding anniversary is right around Mother's Day as well as his nephews birthday. Usually we end up going to visit BIL and family for the nephews birthday party and Mother's Day and our anniversary get pushed aside. It really wears on me because I don't really feel too close to those particular in-laws.

Everything you just wrote, with the exception of the skis, is 100% my DH. FTM so we haven't celebrated Mother's day but I can already see the Berries incident happening with us. He is that way with Christmas and my birthday (we don't do anniversary or valentine's gifts).
My DH isn't usually good at Mother's Day either. Last year I got nothing. NOTHING. He tried to say that he couldn't come up with anything "good" then it got too late so just did nothing. Sorry dude, Mothers day comes around every May so this shouldn't be a surprise for you. He's out of town this year so I'm fully expecting nothing. The kids are old enough now to make their own crafts at school, and 5 year old DH went shopping at the school store and bought me stuff all on his own which I thought was super cute!
@Tippy05 - your husband sounds just like mine. I do hate complaining about his horrible handling of special occasions because he is pretty awesome in every other way.
All of these posts are why I am so thankful daycare does a craft with E for Mother's Day.. my husband will get me a card and some sort of a gift but won't take on a crafty project with E, which is what I really want. We have planned to go to the greenhouse on Sunday so I can pick out a hanging plant (I am obsessed with outdoor plants so this is our tradition). I don't know if he'll get me anything else small, but I won't turn anything away.
For Father's Day last year I bought a foam D and A and took 3 pics of E, spelling out DAD and put them in a super cheap 3 photo frame (I think 2 4x6s on either side of a 5x7). The kid doesn't need to be old enough to know that they're making a gift, or even to contribute other than smiling for a picture. When it's homemade with the kiddo involved it REALLY is that it's the thought that counts
About the gifts on the registry, I like it to be a surprise too. Didn't look for my bridal shower, and I actually was surprised when I opened things especially because I had registered online at Bed Bath & Beyond and most things were nicer in person than I thought they'd be so it was like a surprise!
On Mothers Day, FTM so no idea what husband might do for it! We are going to spend the day with his mom though and I'm looking forward to that.
The Kindergarteners at the kids' school invited their moms and mom-figures to a manicure and muffin event this morning for Mother's Day. A couple of my nails still aren't completely dry (due to the 4 layers of different colored nail polish!) but it was really sweet. The kids and I both really enjoyed it. (Sorry if the picture is huge!)
@Tippy05 - your husband sounds just like mine. I do hate complaining about his horrible handling of special occasions because he is pretty awesome in every other way.
@AnnaS930 I hate that being a SAHM means I get no homemade gifts from McKenna. We do art stuff at home, and I keep it, but it's not the same as getting something like your cute bookmark. DH is very thoughtful regarding gifts (even if he sometimes misses the mark or spoils the suprise), but he in no way is comfortable doing a craft with McKenna for my gift. We went to the zoo last year and will do the same this year, and they have a set up where they turn your handprint into an animal. We got one last year, and plan to do it again this year. That's wonderful, it is, but I secretly wish I was getting something similar to what I made my mom for Christmas. Just a simple handprint in a frame with a poem.
ETA Your greenhouse hanging basket reminded me that our Farmer's Market opens tomorrow! Yay! DH said he wanted to get my flowers from there this year. Honestly, there is usually a better selection later on in the summer, but I'm still excited to go pick some out.
@AlwaysAuntNeverMom- I always laugh that most kids you make funny faces at them and do all these stunts to make them laugh.. and Emmett was born an entertainer, 100% class clown. He makes these surprised faces and monkeys around until you smile, he has a real gift. He is also going to be a lot of trouble.. A LOT
Here's a bit of a funny random...I tend to remember my dreams quite frequently and they are incredibly random. So yesterday morning I woke up and told my husband "Donald Trump was in my dream last night." He gives me the look that he needed a bit more information and I told him "We were buying his house. It was surprisingly modest for how rich he is." Later that night, my husband and I had sex. I told him that I had been wanting to get some action since "that sexy dream I had last night," totally forgetting about telling him about Donald Trump's appearance in the dream. He looked at me in the most bizarre way....The Trump part of the dream and the sexy part of the dream were not the same part!
